    The "Pleasant/Unpleasant Surprise" Thread

    in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!

    Posted

    Pleasant

     

    -Maverick at CP : Nobody told me that it was such a nice coaster with insane airtime and intensity

    -Phoenix at Knoebels : When I first saw it, it lookes like another coaster, turned out to be my favourite woodie! (Need to ride El Toro though)

    -Anaconda at KD : Really good considering I absolutely hate arrow megaloopers

     

    Unpleasant

     

    -Dominator at KD : OW! Really rough for a B&M Coaster

    -Loch Ness Monster : Heard it was the best arrow, found it boring and fairly painful

    What coaster do you love that everyone else hates?

    For steel coasters, i'm fine with going on an SLC...i'll even ride it 2-3 times a day depending on the coaster lineup. Maybe 5'4" is the perfect height for SLC's?

    Boomerang's - Fun ride and I don't mind a little shake. CW's is better than LR's and DL's

     

    For wooden ones, its just rough coasters that I seemed to like for some reason

    Mean Streak - Bad Ass Layout and drops (please don't ban me) and only a little shake after the re tracking

    Predator - Not bad, ok airtime and even less shake than mean streak

    Mighty Canadian Minebuster - Very very underrated ride, like Hurler and Magnum XL-200

    La Ronde Season Pass Concerns

    in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!

    Posted

    Getting into the park shouldn't be the big problem, its more the parking and all the gold pass benefits. In the picture, it looks like a regular season pass, not a gold one. Obviously I would want to have the gold benefits to get the early entry to get some credits without waiting and parking which would be 20$ a day for 4 days which isin't horrible, but easily avoidable.

    La Ronde Season Pass Concerns

    Hey guys, 3 quick questions/concerns about a LaRonde Gold Season Pass, here's a picture :

    1) Does this look like the gold season pass at the american parks? LaRonde seems to lack of details on their website/facebook/twitter but on the facebook page of the american parks they show a gold season pass that actually has the gold colour unlike mine which is red. Also, it says "or" which is gold in french but i'm worried about that because many park employees in the american parks (SFA, SFGAdv and SFNE are on my 2013 schedule) might not understand that.

    2) How does the parking work with a gold season pass? At LaRonde, with the 4 season passes you get 1 season parking pass like SFGAdv, for the american parks will we need to show both the parking and the season pass? I don't mind if we have to bring both, I just hope that because we got the season parking pass we can still use it at other parks.

    3) Do the gold season pass benefits (Early Entry, ERT, Discounts) work at all six flags parks and is there a season pass benefit schedule somewhere?

     

    Thanks in advance for a reply!

    2013 Midwest Tour

    So would it be worth going to Indiana Beach? It's either that or Holiday World but HW's just annoying because i could go from SFGA to Kings Island And stop at Indiana Beach for a Credit Run (Without speeding )

    I've already spent 2 days at Cedar Point, I won't be "credit running" i'll just go on the best 2-3 times each.

    Thanks guys!

     

    Holiday World seems like the place to go for wood coasters instead of Mt. Olympus...

    Anyways, here's my order :

     

    Day 1 : 11hrs to Michigan's Adventure

    Day 2 : Michigan's Adventure the 4hrs to SFGAm

    Day 3 : SFGAm then 3hrs to Indiana Beach (Not entering the park yet)

    Day 4 : Indiana Beach, 3hrs to Holiday World, 3hrs to Kings Island

    Day 5 : Kings Island, 4hrs to Cedar Point

    Day 6 : Cedar Point (Fast Lane)

    Day 7 : 10hrs with Waldameer Stop

     

    Pretty tight schedule but I'm glad I can do this in a week.

    If you think something's wrong, tell me! Help help's.

    Hey guys,

     

    I'm planning a Midwest trip to get to all the major parks and a couple smaller parks. Don't say anything more west then about Chicago (That means no SDC, SFSTL, WoF and Valleyfair). Here are the parks im considering...

    Cedar Point

    Michigan's Adventure

    Mt. Olympus

    SFGAm

    Kings Island

    Waldameer (On The Way or From Cedar Point)

     

    Can I please get a proper order of parks? I live in Ottawa, Canada and have friends in Toronto if I should split up a drive a stop at Canada's Wonderland (Although nothing will be new, I go annually)

     

    Thanks A Lot Guys!

    Ride Bucket List

    in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!

    Posted

    Im gonna split my list into 2 parts : Short-term Goals and Long-Term Goals because all of the coasters in my short-term should be checked off before 2016 but the long term goals will take a while, anyways here's the list :

     

    Short Term

    Kingda Ka/Nitro

    Bizarro (SFNE)

    Gatekeeper

    Any B&M Flyer

    Voyage

     

    Long Term

    Goliath (And all of SFMM)

    Expedition GeForce

    Steel Dragon (Only for the credit )

    Nemesis & Katun (IMO Alpie takes best invert for me)

    What's the rarest credit you have? How did you get it?

    Well, the subject explains itself. I'm really interested in things like these and I'd also like to know how you got the credit. Sorry if there are already any of these in the forums, i just thought this would be a really interesting discussion topic.

     

    My personal rarest credit is Anaconda at Zoo Granby mainly because it's in the middle of nowhere. On coaster-count.com 12 people have ridden it (Including Big Mike ). On rcdb it says it by L&T Systems and it sounds like a cheap Chinese knock-off brand. I got it during my Grade 5 field trip to the zoo.

    Flash Pass & Fast Lane in Canada

    in Ask Alvey

    Posted

    I used both La Ronde's Flash Pass and Wonderland's Fast Lane and they both work great. If you have a season pass i'd recommend that you use that at La Ronde because "Les Quebecois" don't understand Europe very well (even Canada for that matter ) and for you it would be a lot easier if you have one. If you don't, it should be fine they're just really strict when it comes to I.D. but for wonderland (and all Cedar Fair parks) i don't remember having to show any I.D., maybe because i'm too young for a driver's liscence but i'm not sure.

     

    If it's too long read this : Use Season Pass as I.D. at La Ronde if you have one and it dosn't matter at Canada's Wonderland

    Getting away with a POV...

    in Ask Alvey

    Posted

    Hey guys, I know nobody's posted anything on this in over a month but here's the deal, im going to KD and BGW soon (not ECB ) and i want to know 2 things :

     

    1) Would this be a proper strap around your wrist? The camera's screwed in and the straps are locked so I think it's fine, but im not really sure

    2) Who do I ask exactly to gain permission for filming pov's? Could I just ask the ride op or someone else?

     

    Thanks a lot in advance,

    CanadaCoasterKid
